That can be boiled down to the “Rule of 3”.

My CTO often asks me to implement a feature to do X and make it “generic enough to handle future use cases”. My answer is always the same - either give me at least three use cases now or I am going to make it work with this one use case. If we have another client that needs the feature in the future then we will revisit it.

Of course, there are some features that we know in advance based on the industry how we can genericize it.
